Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed Kay 5, 1908. Serial No. 431,045.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DWIGHT C. MrroHnLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gasport, in the county of Niagara and State of New York, have invented a new anduseful Necktie, of which the following is a specification.

It IS a well known fact that difficulty is I often experienced in drawing four-in-hand or other neck ties through doubled or turndown collars, and also making them stay in position after the have been tied.

The primary 0 ject of the present invention is to provide a novel tie of the above type that will sli freely through a turndown or similar co lar, w1ll securely hold its position when tied, and is no more expensive to manufacture than the ties now in general than the end portions. The tie is made up of separate continuous sides 7 of textile material and the end portions contain addin 8, located between said opposite si es, sai

padding terminating at or short of the central portion 6. The sides of the central portion lie flat against each other and are secured together by longitudinal and trans- I verse rows of stitching 9. Thus the central. l or intermediate portion is thinner. and narrower than the end portions and constitutes a flexible strip that will slip freely through a collar of the turn-down variety, besides being somewhat elastic in its character, so that it will more effectively hold the tie in position after being tied.

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, (operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be a parent to those skilled in the art without urther description, and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention. Havin thus fully describedrmy invention, what I c aim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

DWIGHT C. MITCHELL.
